Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • The game has an unlimited replay value because you can make maps
  • It has won 3rd place for Best GBA Game, 3rd for the best replay value, and 3rd for best build-your-own for it's map
  • This game has an incredible replay value and will suck you in for hours at a time.
  • Other than that the game gets great replay value from the 150 or so maps in the vs. and war rooms, while the map creator just adds to the fun that can be had, especially since you can play against a friend on those created maps
  • I only buy games that are a lot of fun and have great replay value.

Reviews around wars (5.00 of 5)

  • Sure, the graphics and themes definitely make the game more like "Cute Wars" but working such a sophisticated simulation into a little handheld is definitley advanced
  • Even if you play nothing but first person shooters you're going to love Advance Wars
  • So, to the creators of Advanced Wars give yourself a pat on the back and know that I will be watching the games you put
  • Turn based strategy games have rarely been as accessible as Advance Wars.
  • Advanced Wars is everything you could ask for in a strategy game

Reviews around thing (4.56 of 5)

  • Even with all these great things in place, Advance Wars is still not a GREAT game
  • I think one of the coolest things in the game is the CO's superpowers
  • Another great thing about this game, of course, is that it has a lot of maps to battle on
  • Some great things of note: the training missions are easy, but very useful in learning the subtleties of the game
  • The only negative thing is that you have to go through field training before you can play any missions

Reviews around fun (4.45 of 5)

  • I don't think any game comes close to this one in pure strategy or fun.
  • I was surprised at how well thought out and fun this game really is
  • It's fun, exciting (expecially for a stratagy game), has cool graphics, and makes you feel like a real commander
  • Advance Wars has all the makings of a classic, from its fun and addicting gameplay to its appropriate graphics and sound, this game set the standard which all other portable turn based strategy games will have to live up to
  • Who'd have thought it- a fun, well-designed strategy game

Reviews around animation (4.26 of 5)

  • They're pixilated and they may be the state of primitive cartoon animation, but looks can deceive, for Advance Wars doesn't behave as it appears.
  • The animations are instant gratification when a well-timed attack turns the tide of battle, help you visualize battle results in several
  • The military units and cool battle animations are fun to watch
  • The anime style of graphics that runs though Advance Wars works perfectly, and even the little things like weather effects and menu screens are top notch--not to mention the cool graphics and animation when a CO uses his or her special move
  • It has great battle animations, for example, if a squad of tanks attacks a squad of infantry, you will see the tanks shooting at the infantry, wiping them out

Reviews around multiplayer (4.26 of 5)

  • Add in a full-featured map creator, a ton of unlockable COs, and the wealth of options, and this is one of the best multiplayer games on the GameBoy
  • The multiplayer is really good and if you only have one game pack, you can still link up and play with up to 3 other people
  • Awesome time killer and great multiplayer.
  • Enabling an up-to-four-player mode and trade with customized maps, Advance Wars coaxes as a spotless multiplayer pleasure
  • The levels are challenging (but fair), the multiplayer is awesome, and there's actually a story to go along with the game!

Reviews around battle (4.03 of 5)

  • It has great battle animations, for example, if a squad of tanks attacks a squad of infantry, you will see the tanks shooting at the infantry, wiping them out
  • The military units and cool battle animations are fun to watch
  • The battles are just as fun to watch as they are to plan
  • The final battle of the Campaign blew me away
  • The battles were all very fun and if I have only one complaint it's that the computer was not blinded by the fog of war but you were

Reviews around gameplay (3.78 of 5)

  • mode!When you actually get down to waging war, the gameplay will seem complex at first since there are so many things to take into account, but after a day or two, you'll be spotting all the traps and making all the most strategic moves possible
  • -Sophisticated gameplay with a simple interface allows for depth never before seen on a portable unit
  • At first, I was a bit irratated with the happy anime look of advance wars, but after I saw past that, the gameplay was absolutly excellant
  • With visually stunning graphics, insane gameplay, and mindblowing AI, this game is flat out awesome.
  • Great plot, easy controls, good graphics, and mind bending gameplay make this game irresistable

Reviews around challenge (3.61 of 5)

  • I've switched the game off mid-mission out of sheer frustration at the imbalances in this game, but ultimately I have to encourage anyone who enjoys a challenge to buy this game immediately
  • After that, you can play a normal campaign, which has a cool storyline and a whole bunch of missions, some of which are pretty challenging
  • It's both challenging and fun at the same time(which,believe me, is hard to find)
  • But this original version, while indeed challenging, is more friendly to the beginner (less difficult to win)
  • If you're a fan of military theory or strategy games of any sort, or you just value a great challenge with lots of fun bits thrown in, check out Advance Wars immediately.

Reviews around music (3.44 of 5)

  • Good art, amazingly catchy music, and options to turn off animations for the power player is a godsend.
  • Gameplay: 10/10- fun and addicting, Graphics: 10/10- clear and smooth, you can see the textures, Sound: 10/10- The music during Field Training is so good, I started humming along to it without noticing, the sound effects are wonderful
  • Great graphics and animations, neat sound (Sonja and Nell have the greatest music!)
  • This game is fun because its innovative, has great music and you'll never put it down
  • The music gets old fast, but the game loses nothing when the music is turned off.
